The Place presents: In Search of Dinozord (UK Premiere).

Scored with fragments of Mozart’s requiem, metronomic taps on a typewriter and live vocals by South African Hlengiwe Lushaba, Linyekula’s piece is a poetic, political fairy tale.

Dancers and actors move through a landscape of ruins in the post-apocalyptic Congo as they search for forgotten dreams. With elegant, haunting and highly political energy they delve into the wrenching history of the Congo, recounting legends from their childhoods and mourning the loss of a friend as they attempt to create a myth that truly reflects their lives.
